The UKG integration with Deel’s Global Payroll platform allows you to keep your HRIS system as the source of truth for employee information.
This means that information will be automatically pushed and pulled between the two platforms, eliminating the need for manual data entry.
The integration will sync automatically at 9am GMT.

Frequently Asked Questions
[ACCORDION] Can workers be managed manually on Deel if UKG stops working?
Even if a client’s HRIS software stops working, onboarding and offboarding workers is still possible manually on Deel. To manage employee data manually, the sync with the HRIS software must be temporarily disabled.
To disable the sync:
✅ Step 1: From the Deel home page, select the More icon and Apps tab to search for UKG.
✅ Step 2: Within UKG, find the Global payroll - employee data sync plugin and click on Manage.
✅ Step 3: On the Global payroll employee data sync drawer, select the entity to be used.
✅ Step 4: Click on the ellipses (three dots), select Disable Syncing and confirm the change.
Keep in mind that data syncs from UKG to Deel. When the sync is enabled, all the data manually entered in Deel will be overwritten by the data in UKG.
Before re-enabling the sync, make sure:
- To add the worker(s) to UKG first.
- That the email and employee numbers in both systems match.
